Black History Month Celebration

Our Theme for 2024 is “Rhythms of Resilience: One Soul, One Sound”.

This month’s theme centers on the concept that Black history, culture, and music embody a tapestry of diversity and interconnection, rather than being a single narrative. The theme focuses on the value of fostering unity and solidarity among diverse cultural identities and highlights the role of music as a unifying force that bridges these varied experiences. This will be a time to not only acknowledge the contributions but to authentically express one’s own sense of Black joy.

If you have any questions, please contact CREDE Assistant Director Simone Royal at (sroyal2@elon.edu) or (336)-278-7243.

Bryant Colson was the first Black student to serve as editor-in-chief of the Elon school paper, The Pendulum (1978); and the first Black student elected president of the Student Government Association (1979).
